Route 2 (Bolivia)

Route 2 is a national highway in Bolivia. It connects the capital city of La Paz to the border town of Desaguadero on the border with Peru. From Desaguadero, it connects to the Peruvian highway system, providing access to Lake Titicaca, Puno, and other destinations in Peru. The highway is paved and is a major transportation artery for both people and goods moving between Bolivia and Peru. As a crucial international route, it plays a significant role in regional commerce and tourism. The road traverses high altitude terrain, characteristic of the Altiplano, and travelers should be aware of potential altitude sickness. Public transportation options, including buses, regularly utilize this route.
